Stellen Skarsgard on the the growing presence of AI in the movie industry:
"For thousands of years, people have been very much interested in people. Describing people is what theater does, what film does — and what we do best. In film — even better than in television — you can describe all the unspoken words, all the unspoken facets of a relationship that are almost impossible to explain but are still there. We will always be curious about other people. That curiosity will never leave us."
What form it takes, how it will be produced — maybe some people will be happy enough with what AI can produce, and some will not. But I think the main problem for the moving image industry today is the concentration of capital. And the concentration of capital is the problem for every industry, for humanity. AI is nothing without the men behind it. AI is owned by the tech barons standing right behind power."

I remember an interview about Redford with someone who did theater with him. Redford was having a hard time with his character, and the director was like “your character really likes this girl, but she won’t give him the time of day. Do you understand?” And he was like, “No.”
Florence Pugh when asked what Lewis Pullman’s “ick” is:
“I don’t like the term ick. I think it’s really shit and only really associates to men and I don’t like that either. People fuck up and that’s absolutely fine, why are we making a big deal about it? Anyway, I don’t care about [his] ick because I embrace all of [him].”
